statistics, a normal distribution or Gaussian distribution is a type of continuous probability distribution for a real-valued random variable. The general form...

A random variable (also called random quantity, aleatory variable, or stochastic variable) is a mathematical formalization of a quantity or object which...

as exponents of the variable and its complement to 1, respectively, and control the shape of the distribution. The beta distribution has been applied to...
